After living in Kewanee and then Freeport in their earlier years, Carol and Ron called Galena, IL “home” for the past twenty-five plus years. Family, Faith, Friendships, and Fun were just some of Carol’s core values. Her many years as a Mary Kay Consultant correlated with her inner and outer beauty.

She is survived by her three sons: Stephen (Susan) of St. Charles, IL, Brent (Véronique) of Ann Arbor, MI, and Mark of East Galesburg, IL, along with her sole sibling, Jean Mitton of Cordova, IL, and her sister’s niblings – three nephews and a niece.  Memorials can be made in her name to the United Methodist Church Memorial Fund, 125 South Bench Street, Galena, IL 61036.
